Trivia:

When Edgar is at the cemetery before the movie starts, on the movie screen is the title of the movie, Hot Spell (1958), and pictures the two main characters. He mentions that the woman on the screen is his trifecta. When asked if he means literally the actress on the screen. He says "Yes, literally." The actress on the screen is Shirley MacLaine, who plays his wife in the movie.

Goofs:

Continuity: When Eddison leaves the house and takes off on his bike, we view the street and the activity on that street. When Grace immediately backs out of the driveway to follow him, it is a different street.

Quotes:

Morley Clarkson:And then there's the whole thing with my parents' horrible...
Reed Bennett:Your parents, wait, hold on, wait a second, just because your parents had a bad divorce doesn't mean that you're going to have a bad divorce. They're not hereditary, it's not like it's contagious.
Morley Clarkson:You're not getting it. You know the first phone call I made after you proposed was to my office, to confirm my ten o'clock meeting.

Movie Connections:

Featured in "Richard Roeper & the Movies: Valentine's Day (#1.18)" (2010)

Soundtrack:

The Way You Look Tonight

A god-awful mess. Don't fall for it.

Take 2 dozen stars. Mix in a dozen plots. Add a dash of horribly unfunny and painfully unrealistic dialogue. NOw top it off with every romantic comedy cliché in the book, clone it a few times and top it off again.

The end result is worse than it sounds.

It physically pains me to hear that people came out of this movie having enjoyed it . This is no doubt the biggest pile exploitive tripe that I have ever seen.

Not only is it poorly written and laugh-less, the abundance of different stories that are going on ( there is honestly about 9 or 10 main stories) leads to terribly underdeveloped characters and a choppy, dishevelled pacing that allows the movie to reach it's climaxing point 10 different times throughout the movie.

Not only are there too many stories but half of them are god awful and absolutely POINTLESS. Taylor Swift/Taylor Lautner's story for example, added NOTHING to the over all plot and it was just another way of cramming more familiar faces into the movie. Also half of the stars that are first billed appear in the movie for only minutes. It's pure exploitation and an obvious attempt to snare a huge audience. Unfortunately for the world and for the sake of film, it WILL snare that audience and most will come out liking it.

The movie had a few (only a few) nice tender moments and plot twists but the amount of bad overshadows this by a long shot.

A god-awful mess. Don't fall for it.
